"Green" Chipboard

A while back a friend asked me where I got my chipboard. I told her that the majority came from my work; on the backs of writing tablets, when we get logo paper for our printers, some of our flyers come in 'pads' & there is chipboard to keep them from bending/getting ruined.

I work full time in an office and the chipboard comes in many different textures & thicknesses.

So, I collect them all and take them home to be used in my favorite toy; My Sizzix Big Shot.

We also talked about 'going green' and that was the theme for our last Shoebox Swap.

That's great! I just got one of my SU! boxes yesterday with paper and the cardboard back. I was about to throw it away and thought, "hey wait a second... I can use this!!" Great minds think a like!!

I've used the cereal box idea... and here is one my favorite uses. I measured a box to make sure it is 12 in wide (if not maybe a hair of 12 in, like 12 1/8 to 12 1/4). I use two of those boxes, cut out the middle so it makes a vertical paper holder! Just like the 8.5 x 11 paper holder and magazine holders people sell, mine was completely recycled covered in old CS I was going to use... and voila! My own custom made paper holder out of cereal boxes!
